Roof Checks Before and After Buying a Home: By a Roofer

Why a Roofer’s Eye Saves You Big Before and After the Sale


  Buying a home in Baltimore or anywhere? Your roof matters, before and after you sign the papers. A pro roofer’s inspection can catch trouble a regular home check (inspection) might miss. Here’s why you should book one Before if possible or at least after, with three reasons each, plus a bonus tip from the field.


Before You Buy: 3 Reasons to Inspect


  • Spot Hidden Damage: Shingles might look fine, but a roofer can find storm wear or rot. Avoid a $5,000 surprise post-closing. 

 

  • Negotiate Smarter: A 20-year roof here lasts 12-15 due to our weather (GAF data). If it’s near the end, leverage that for a lower price or seller repairs. 


  • Insurance Prep: Many insurers need a roof with 3+ years left (Bankrate). A roofer’s report proves it, or could flag a replacement before you’re stuck uninsured.


After You Move In: 3 More Reasons


  • Uncover Seller Cover-Ups: Some sellers patch leaks with tar or paint- quick fixes that fail fast. A roofer spots these (like hidden flashing rust), saving you from a $7,000 redo within a year. We’ve seen it too often. 

 

  • Stop Weather’s First Strike: Baltimore’s next storm could test your roof hard. A post move in check catches weak spots (cracked slate, loose shingles) before leaks soak your new furniture. Timing’s everything.

 

  • Fix Past Neglect: Old owners might’ve skipped maintenance- like poor ventilation causing mold. A roofer’s fix now could avoid a $15,000 replacement later. Your home deserves better.


Bonus Tip: Home Inspectors Aren’t Roof Pros


  Most home inspectors don’t climb roofs- ASHI and InterNACHI say it’s optional if it’s steep or wet. When they do, they’re not roofing experts- often missing subtle flashing flaws or granule loss. A roofer’s your real MVP here. 

 

  Buying soon? Call Omni-Roof for a roof check- free with any quote; pre-purchase inspections may have a minimum charge.
